Ahem, "this winter" is what we in North America are currently
experiencing (Dec 2006 through April 2007). "Next Winter" is Dec 2007
through April 2008.
I recently read an article about how "this" and "next" when applied
to timeframe is quite regional, even within a single country, and
almost always ambiguous for exactly that reason. I can't find the
reference, however, sorry about that.
In terms of Tinderbox, I'm really looking forward to the release of
the new version that Mark hinted about. And for New Years, I resolve
to actively take advantage of the new goodies. :-) Happy New Year!
Best Regards,
